Roger Cole

Gary Gibbs
Gary Gibbs has been in 'full-time' evangelistic ministry since 1979. British Youth for Christ appointed him as the director of the work in Derby. After several years there and considerable growth of Derby YFC, he moved on to the national evangelistic staff. From 1983 - 1994, Gary was involved in a travelling ministry reaching out to unchurched people from a wide range of backgrounds. During this period, he was often working in partnership with other creative ministries. He was one of the leaders of the youth work at Spring Harvest for a decade. From the mid-nineties, until September 2003, Gary stopped travelling to a large degree and concentrated on helping his home church (Community Church Derby) transform into the effective fellowship it now is. Since then, there has been a fresh release into helping other churches both in the UK and across the world to become more clearly missional in their vision, values and activities. Gary is married to Sally and they have produced three (nearly) grown-up children, Ben, Kate and Tom.
